It's one of the most prestigious nights in all of country music. Hosted by in Frisco, Texas Academy of Country Music Awards celebrated the biggest names in the genre. While many stars stepped out in style on the red carpet, others missed the mark entirely. Rising pop princess Jessie Murph turned heads by arriving on the red carpet with a piglet as her date. The Alabama-born singer matched the pig to her outfit, which consisted of a pair of soft pink pants and a plunging fringed top. Appearing to channel Priscilla Presley or Bobby Lee Gentry, Jessie had her black hair styled into a huge bouffant. Piggy plus-one: The singer matched the pig to her outfit, which consisted of a pair of soft pink pants and a plunging fringed top Also in a shade of soft pink was Kimberly Schlapman of Little Big Town, who donned a shiny strapless jumpsuit. Jessie Jo Dillon rocked a white pantsuit with floral prints. She coordinated it with a matching handbag and cowboy hat, and completed the look with a chunky necklace and rings. RHOBH star and singer Morgan Wade walked the red carpet without best friend Kyle Richards. She rocked an ill-fitting pair of black trousers and an oversized pink satin blazer with nothing underneath. Jelly Roll's glamorous wife Bunnie Xo rocked one of the raciest looks of the night. The podcaster, 45, dared to bare in a semi-sheer lace dress that showed off her cleavage and legs. She had her blonde hair teased and tousled and went for a smokey black makeup around her eyes. Also flashing some flesh was Kassi Ashton in a flimsy yellow number that struggled to contain her curves. Joking about the raunchy look on Instagram, the 31-year-old wrote: 'Just a garage dress and some porch stripper shoes.' Not even A-listers were exempt from fashion fails, with Nicole Kidman leading the worst of the rest.

WORST dressed celebs at the Academy of Country Music Awards 2025 revealed
It's one of the most prestigious nights in all of country music. Hosted by Reba McEntire in Frisco, Texas on Thursday, the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards celebrated the biggest names in the genre. While many stars stepped out in style on the red carpet, others missed the mark entirely. Rising pop princess Jessie Murph turned heads by arriving to the swanky event with a piglet as her date. The Alabama-born songstress matched the pig to her outfit, which consisted of a pair of soft pink pants and a plunging fringed top. Appearing to channel Lisa Marie Presley or Bobby Lee Gentry, Jessie had her raven black tresses teased into a huge bouffant. Also in a shade of soft pink was Kimberly Schlapman of Little Big Town, who donned a shiny strapless jumpsuit.

Jelly Roll's glamorous wife Bunnie Xo rocked one of the raciest looks of the night Also flashing some flesh was Kassi Ashton in a flimsy yellow number that struggled to contain her curves. The brunette bombshell, 31, flaunted her cleavage and long legs in the racy frock. Joking about the raunchy look on Instagram, Kassi wrote, 'Just a garage dress and some porch stripper shoes.' Lainey Wilson emerged as the night's top winner, securing four major awards. The 32-year-old's big wins included Entertainer of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, and Album of the Year for Whirlwind. Wilson's win was controversial on social media, with many country fans claiming that Kelsea Ballerini or Morgan Wallen should've won instead. 'With no Morgan Wallen awards I am not watching,' raged one fan. 'Glad I stuck to my guns and didn't watch this watch. Morgan Wallen robbed again,' wrote another. 'Once again Kelsea is being robbed at this awards ceremony... year in and year out and the faces don't change,' a third wrote. However, some fans defended Lainey's big victory, with one writing, 'These comments on here are unreal ! Miss Lainey Wilson deserves this a heck of a lot more than the others! She's got it all. True country gal who can SING.' Wallen, 31, was up for seven awards at the ACMs, held at The Ford Center at The Star in Frisco. While the star didn't comment on his absence from the show, he did post an Instagram snap of him golfing with NFL legend Tom Brady on Thursday afternoon, adding, 'Had a little mustard on it.' Wallen lost out on the Single of the Year award for his Post Malone collaboration I Had Some Help to You Look Like You Love Me by Ella Langley and Riley Green. Wallen also lost Song of the Year for that same track to Dirt Cheap by Cody Johnson, and Artist-Songwriter of the Year to Lainey Wilson. While Wallen didn't show up, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman added some major starpower to the ACMs. The 57-year-old country star got a chance to do some guitar shredding on stage in Frisco, Texas, before he accepted the Triple Crown Award, one of the organization's top honors.
